NJSBA says law firms should be considered essential businesses

The NJSBA told government officials that lawyers and law firms are essential and should not be closed. The public’s right to access to justice is one of the core foundations of a just and civilized society, the Association told officials in Bergen County and the Governor. Lawyers across the state are being flooded with urgent issues, like how to protect themselves from abuse, how to prepare a power of attorney for what may be coming, and what to do if they risk mortgage delinquency because of debt. “Shutting down such access is not something that can be taken lightly,” the letter stated. Lawyers are doing their part to be responsible citizens, while still zealously advocating for their clients, and our state’s citizens, best interests.”
